Fair Haven is a residential borough of about 2,070 homes with no state or federal highway passing through.

Those expansions, along with river wind and mature shade trees, shape how siding ages here. We serve Fair Haven from our regional location in Red Bank.

Renovated and Expanded Houses

Older houses that have been enlarged with second stories, wings, or new garages have seams where new walls meet old ones, and new roofs meet old walls. Those joints are frequent sources of water problems. Siding on the new section may differ from the original in material, profile, or age, and the flashing at the transition may have been rushed or skipped.

When we repair siding on an expanded home, we look closely at those seams. We check the step flashing and kick-out flashing where an addition’s roof meets an older wall, make sure the siding and trim at the transition shed water outward, and note any differences in what is behind each section. If the two parts of the house have different siding, we discuss how to make repairs blend as well as possible.

Older Homes From the Early Decades

Homes from the borough’s early decades may have porches and dormers, along with wood trim and siding. On these houses, we replace only what is damaged, protect trim during work, and flash porch and dormer joints carefully. Where paint keeps failing on wood, we look for moisture coming from behind before recommending another coat.

River Wind and Mature Trees

Homes along the Navesink face wind off open water. Wind lifts loose edges, corners, and soffit panels, and salt in the air near the river works on metal fasteners and flashing. Elsewhere in town, large trees shade many properties, filling gutters with leaves, keeping walls damp, and occasionally dropping limbs. Riverfront repairs get extra attention to fastening and corrosion-resistant metals; shaded homes get extra attention to gutters, trim, and the bottom courses.

Vinyl Siding Repair

Vinyl siding repair is usually done one panel at a time. Vinyl courses interlock and hang from nails in slotted holes so they can expand and contract. We unlock the course above the damage, remove the broken panel, and lock in a new one. Panels nailed too tight, which ripple in summer heat, are refastened.

Matching is often the hardest part on expanded homes. Vinyl fades, colors and profiles are discontinued, and an addition’s siding may already differ from the original. A new panel may not exactly match. We find the closest available match and explain options before work begins.

Wood and Cedar, Fiber Cement, and Aluminum

Wood and cedar: split, cupped, or rotted boards and shingles are replaced, primed, and painted, and the moisture source corrected.
Fiber cement: cracked boards are replaced and painted, with proper clearances.
Aluminum: dented or loose panels are replaced where matching profiles are available.

Loose, Cracked, Warped, or Missing Siding

General homeowner information; we confirm causes on site.

Loose: panels or boards that move, rattle, or have pulled away.
Cracked or split: impact on vinyl, or wood splitting after repeated wetting and drying.
Warped or buckled: vinyl waves from tight nailing or heat; wood cups when moisture gets behind it.
Missing: pieces lost to wind, exposing house wrap or sheathing.
Failing trim and corners: gaps that let water behind siding.

Storm Damaged Siding Repair

Nor’easters and thunderstorms bring wind off the river and can send branches into walls. After a storm, check your home from the ground and photograph any damage before cleanup.

If you file an insurance claim, the insurer decides coverage. We can document the damage, explain the repairs needed to protect the wall, and provide a written estimate.

Moisture Behind Siding

Siding lets some water behind it, which the barrier and flashing carry back out. Problems start when water gets in faster than it can drain:

Seams between additions and original walls
Porch roofs and dormers without proper flashing
Gutters overflowing under large trees
Windows and doors with worn flashing or caulk
Cracked or missing siding

Signs include paint that keeps peeling, stains below roof edges, soft wood at the base of walls, and swollen window trim. We check the roof edge and gutters above any damaged wall. See our gutter cleaning in Fair Haven page for more on drainage.

Soffit, Fascia, and Trim

Soffit and fascia close off the roof edge and carry the gutters. Rotted fascia lets gutters sag, and damaged soffit admits water and pests. We repair and replace soffit, fascia, and trim and look for the cause.

Repair or Siding Replacement?

Repair is usually right when damage is limited and the rest of the siding is sound. Replacement becomes worth considering when:

Damage spans several walls
Siding on an addition and the original house no longer work together
Moisture damage behind the siding is widespread
Matching material is unavailable
A larger renovation is planned

We do not decide from a photo. At a free siding estimate in Fair Haven, we look at the house and explain our recommendation.

Siding Installation and Full Replacement

For a full re-side, we remove the old siding, inspect and repair sheathing, install a weather-resistive barrier, flash windows, doors, porch roofs, and every addition seam, and fasten new siding with room for expansion. A full replacement is also a chance to unify the look of a house that has been expanded over time. We install vinyl, fiber cement, wood and cedar, and aluminum and review product, profile, and color options with you at the estimate.

Permit requirements depend on scope. Check with the Fair Haven construction office before major exterior work begins, and we can discuss it at your estimate.

Planning Siding Work With a Renovation

If you are planning an addition or a larger renovation, it can make sense to plan siding repairs or replacement at the same time. Tying new walls into existing siding is easier when both are considered together, and flashing at the new joints can be done right from the start. We are glad to look at your existing siding during the planning stage and explain how it might be integrated with the new work.

What We Check at an Estimate

At a Fair Haven estimate, we walk every elevation and pay particular attention to the places where older homes and their additions tend to leak: seams between sections, porch and dormer joints, window and door trim, and the bottom courses under gutters. Where siding is loose, we look behind it. Then we explain what we found and give you a written estimate that lists the areas and materials included.

Seasonal Siding Care

Spring: check addition seams and porch joints for winter damage.
Summer: trim branches back from walls so siding can dry.
Fall: clean gutters after leaf drop.
Winter: keep snow piles away from siding.

Inspect from the ground only; leave second-story walls to a professional.
